We love to read and share – here’s some notable things from the last week covering life, investing and financial planning. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Perspective<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Your Choices to Make – gailvazoxlade.com<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– “Often when people look at the choices they must make, they focus on what they must give up. I have always kicked my own ass and turned my face to what it is I\u2019m trying to achieve. In making the choices I make, it isn\u2019t about what I won\u2019t be able to have. I consciously choose to focus on what it is that I will be able to have.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Investing<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A Christmas letter from the fund industry – The Evidence-Based Investor<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>– “2015 has certainly been challenging on the work front. We don\u2019t mean beating the market \u2014 most of us gave up on that years ago \u2014 but the constant downward pressure on fees, the calls for greater transparency and the mounting evidence from all over the world that we, as an industry, extract far more value from the investment process than we add.”<\/em><\/p>\n

New Year\u2019s Play | Jason Zweig<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>– “The lessons of the calendar are clear: The right time to invest is when you have cash to spare. The right time to sell is when you need the money or want to adjust the riskiness of your portfolio. Any other attempts at timing are no better than superstition.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Wall Streets Biggest Lies<\/strong><\/span><\/a> – “And I think the big lie on Wall Street and in the financial-advisor community is a sentence that begins kind-of like this: \u201cYou\u2019re going to need to earn higher returns so we\u2019re going to buy you some of these\u2026\u201d Well, it doesn\u2019t matter what you need. You could need a 20% return, you could need a 15% return, you could need a 10% return, but the stock market doesn\u2019t know and doesn\u2019t care what return you need.”<\/em><\/p>\n
